"I think I enjoy it because the thought that someone is cumming inside me turns me on – it's just psychologically more appealing to me. Matt, a 23-year-old single gay man who had condomless anal sex with "four or five partners a month" pre-pandemic, says he's on PrEP and "fully understands U+U", but still gets off on the lingering stigma that surrounds barebacking. The message is simple: "Undetectable equals untransmittable." In recent years, the "U=U" campaign has helped to spread awareness that someone living with HIV who has an undetectable viral load – thanks to effective treatment and regular check-ups – cannot pass on the virus. Like: 'Yeah, you think it’s gross that I’m sticking my dick in another guy's ass? Well you know what, I'm gonna do it without a condom too.'" "We're conditioned by society to think that all gay sex is taboo anyway and it's hard to shake off those feelings sometimes, so fucking bareback is kind of like giving society the middle finger. "Barebacking still feels more taboo, because obviously for years there was no way to protect yourself against HIV without using a condom or being fully monogamous," he says. Sam also says that for him, a bareback encounter still feels like a subversive or risky act. This might be another reason why people are seeing it more on apps." "So I'd imagine that apps like Grindr are being used more often as a way to gather people who have the same interests together. "A lot of men who enjoy group sex have had safe spaces like saunas and sex clubs taken away from them and have no outlet for this anymore," he says. Howley says PrEP hasn't just made condomless anal sex less risky – it's also made it a more “mainstream” proposition on dating apps, especially since the pandemic has reduced the MSM community's options. PrEP is a prevention method and those who are using PrEP correctly are protecting themselves and their partners against HIV." Still, Howley also points out that PrEP doesn't offer complete protection because it doesn't prevent other STIs such as chlamydia, syphilis and gonorrhoea.
“But let’s not think they're having 'unprotected sex'. "What PrEP has done for many is lift the guilt and shame associated with sex and I would imagine that means that more men are choosing to have condomless sex,” he says. The men face burglary charges, while Harrington is looking at another stretch inside for his actions.Howley says PrEP has even changed the way we should talk about anal intercourse between MSM. “They broke in my front door, so I broke in their back doors!” The Wolfman is said to told police on his arrest. Five days of being raped by a man mountain is a bit much, isn’t it? Though we tend to think that a spell in prison is probably more fair. What they went through is inexcusable, but many online commentators are saying that they deserved some kind of retribution for their crimes. Police only intervened after a neighbor heard the men’s cries for help and called them.Īs you can see from their mug shots below, the men were extremely traumatized by their ordeal.

Harrington, known as ‘ The Wolfman‘, easily overpowered the men, tied them up and assaulted them for five full days. But that’s just what Morgan and Gorton did that fateful night.
